A member asked:
I have an av fistulla and i lift 5-10 pds of weights, yesterday, after lifting i noticed a bruise on my arms near my access, what does this mean?

Small bleed: Had the fistula been accessed recently? Most likely you bled a bit from that site. I am sure it was self limited and it will fade soon. Ask your dialysis center staff and / or nephrologist about this to get their advice.
